I like this... though I think 6 months would be better than 3 on the initial Orphaning. There should for sure be a final "DUDE!!! Fix your crap" Warning email sent to the maintainer, like above, perhaps a 7 day warning?
A daily process to automatically disown abandoned packages would be great, but it needs to account for the last modified date too: 1. Find packages flagged out of date > 1 month and last modified > 1 month == Send reminder email. (Package out of date, please update). 2. Find packages flagged out of date > 2 month and last modified > 1 month == Send warning email. (Package still out of date, automatic disown in 1 month). 3. Find packages flagged out of date > 2.75 month and last modified > 1 month == Send warning email. (Last chance!). 4. Find packages flagged out of date > 3 month and last modified > 1 month == Disown, send notification email, add comment so others who are subscribed to comments is aware it has been disowned (You lost it).
